Chapter Six Summary Chapter six explores what the author calls the early church approach of verse by verse preaching (Allen Jr., 39). This form flows the way it is labeled, verse by verse with the addition of application between each verse. A pendulum like structure that swings from exegesis of the biblical text to the application portion immediate after the verse is explained. As the author states, and I agree, the verse by verse form’s strengths is that using this form allows for the text to…
We had a mission, a goal, and a plan. What we came back with was much more. We came home with a new faith and a new understanding of life. To say it was an eye opener is an understatement. The elders of the church and some people of the community thought we went to Jamaica to help them in their faith with God, but in all honesty, it helped my youth group and each of our faiths even more. Some of the ways it helped us is it made realize if the Jamaican who had very little of anything could…
In verse 44 “in general, “apo” meaning comes from the classical Greek donates motion from the edge or surface of an object while “ek” means “out, out of”; donates motion from within going out. But in Hellenistic Greek the distinction between these was becoming blurred, so that meaning of these two words overlaps considerably.” Therefore, the use of apo and ek together in (John 1:44) could mean the “place of original.” It could be true because as we observed from ‘the setting of this…
Coreluv is an institution based out of Haiti that was created to take in orphans and provide them with a home. With the help of many other churches from around the world Coreluv is able to provide more services to those orphans such as a closer well, more books to learn, and rooms to provide for these kids. This institution is virtuous because they teach orphans about God, provide them with food and water, and lastly provide them with an education, which will make them into thinkers of the…
Christ make it their mission to inform them while also helping those who do know about Jesus to experience their own faith. They live out God’s message to be disciples of Jesus by focusing on youth and young adults, strengthening the members of Christians, and primarily serving outside their community. It is important to remember that the youth of today is the future of tomorrow. This is precisely the reason why the Missioners of Christ reach out to the younger members of society. The youth…
things before, and based a reaction off of that fact. The article as if it is missing something, most likely more explanation from Trump's side or perhaps more quotes from his point of view. Overall the article is extremely well-written, it shows the Christian side of recent politics without combining church and state. It manages to give a religious leaders perspective without the religious leader criticizing the political leader: the pope simply asks the world to pray for world leaders and for…

The reason the human body is of such importance is that it is the eternal temple of God, a part of the great incarnation of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. The goal of our salvation is to have our body resurrected into eternal life and filled with the Presence of the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit. God is a Spirit. God chose to express Himself, to reveal Himself, in a physical form. The…
has been a separating between the church and the state and yet knowing that some people still believe that we are a Christian Nation. Some of the most important founding fathers where deist, therefore, our nation is not a Christian nation, although some people might find that it is. Through out the years, there have been several discussion on whether we are or are not a Christian nation. A great example of this would be David Barton who says that indeed we are a Chrisstian nation and that…
most Mormons do not practice in plural marriages, studies show that 20% still belong to plural families. This is not practiced in Christianity and is considered illegal. Another Church of Latter Day Saints practice that is different than most Christians, excluding some Catholics, is Mormons are discouraged in use birth control which explains why so many Mormons have such large families. In today’s society, the last difference is probably the most notable in the…
